How to Join
The first step is to visit a chapter or chapters in your region to ensure that BNI is something you feel will add value to your business. At the same time you might like to run a category search in the Trade Directory to find who else from your trade or profession is already an active member of BNI - you may be surprised at how many of your competitors you find!

All chapters are listed on the website - however as we only permit one person per trade or profession in a chapter - the next step is to contact the BNI Regional Director for the chapter you are interested in prior to your visit to ensure that there is a vacancy for you.

Following your visit - if you decide you would like to apply to join a chapter - you will need to submit your application form together with your payment to the chapter Leadership Team for review. You need to be sponsored by an exisiting member and are required to provide two business references for follow up by the chapter Leadership Team as part of the review process.

In the event that there is no vacancy for you at the present time - please contact the BNI Regional office nearest to your location and ask about starting a BNI Chapter with you as a founding core member. BNI Directors are the most expert at starting new chapters.

If you have trouble making contact, feel free to contact the Canadian National office at 1 800 365 2276 or email info@bnicanada.ca.
Good Luck!
